just do a small water change.
ammonia goes up....peaks as nitrite starts....ammonia starts going down as nitrite rises...
nitrite peaks as nitrate starts...nitrite falls as nitrate rises..until the only reading you get will be nitrate..any time a reading gets too high , a water change will help to bring it down..
you should notice a rise in nitrates within the next few days...

remember.....cycling normally takes 8-12 week...not minutes...
you gotta relax and take it easy...
leave the bacteria crap in the bottle....let the cycle take care of itself..

always good to have some aeration...a small pump with an air stone or a sponge filter...almost all of my tanks use sponge filters except for those that use undergravel filters..
but the aeration definitely helps to keep things on the right track..

Seriously...now I feel CRAZY! :'( Im not really crying but im feeling that insane...I just re-tested...all my excitement down the drain...I must not have rinsed out my test tube well enough, my nitrite never climed...its blue :/ ...Ammonia is 0 Nitrite is 0 and nitrate is 0...I think I need to add a couple more bloodfins to get anything to build...maybe its because I have hornwort in there? Would it really eat enough ammonia to not have to cycle the tank? Would 2 more tetras be a good addition to get some ammonia building? Ugh, sorry for all the excitment. Dont they have a little smiley face icon that crawls under a rock and hides?? if they did that is the icon id be using right now. So bummed and embarassed Grr. More work to be done. At least now I know what to do when I do eventually have some nitrite climing.

ok...relax.....breathe.....gather yourself...you are not crazy(well,hopefully not..lol)...
you can certainly add a couple more bloodfins....and feed a tiny bit extra food...do not test for 48 hours...then try it...i would suggest only 25% water changes once a week...give it a couple of weeks and test again....
the fish will not die and your tank will start to establish itself...
